Take Heart, Little One! Jamie Kane, Shine On!
Artists are always misunderstood, especially after they’re dead and can’t even defend themselves. People still expect great things from Kurt Cobain and John Lennon. Are they so great that they can still inspire hope from Beyond the Grave! Yes! They are that great. Another great artist, although never as popular as Nirvana or the Beatles, was Jamie Kane. And even in death, Jamie continues to shine on. But he can no longer give autographs!
This week I heard from ThrillJill who had ordered a signed lithograph from Jamie’s website… and it never arrived. Could it be that it is because this great singer has passed on to the Great Gig in the Sky??
In Life, Jamie Kane was larger than life. Anyone who has seen him on British show Top of the Pops or heard him on BBC Radio 1 knows that he had talent and vision far beyond today’s manufactured pop stars. His first band Boy*d Upp was cool even for a “boy band,” but when he broke free with Be Brave... well, it was the start of something big. When his helicopter crashed, and Jamie was lost forever, it was truly a black day for music. But I will never let him be forgotten. Jamie Kane lives!
But that lithograph probably is not coming.
I have promised ThrillJill that I will contact Jamie’s estate. It has been a tough time for all of Jamie’s friends and family, so we have to have some respect. So many people believed in him… and now he is gone. But life if for the living, and Jill, you and I are still here, connected at the heart by Jamie’s music.

I heard about some signed Jamie Kane stuff on eBay but it is probably pretty
expensive.

I LOVE JAMIE KANE. He never got big in the States but I know some people who
saw him at a festival in Scottland and said he stole the show. It is so cool
that you are into him. I would love to hear from more Jamie Kane fans! Do
you like his dance songs or his pop songs best?

Jamie Kane sucks. His fans are all little girls.

When the Beatles started, their fans were mostly all girls, too, like when they played at Shea Stadium. That’s the way the record companies market people. Later the whole world realized their genius.
